Fakin Wines

The Fakin winery is a young estate owned by second generation winemaker Marko Fakin who took over from his father Elio in 2010. It owns 40 hectares of vineyards close to the medieval hilltop town of Motovun and brings together experience, dedication, and a long-standing family tradition. The focus is on local grape varieties (Malvazija Istarska, Teran and Muscat), which suit the Motovun climate and soils. This is a special location above the Mirna River valley with a sunny Mediterranean climate, cooled by constant breezes. The white, stony soils are based on limestone and schist, ensuring minerality, freshness, and expressive varietal characteristics. The only Croatian winery to have won a Decanter gold medal for 6 consecutive years.
